The Starlet Glanza is the sports version of the P90 generation Starlet, and is the successor to the 80 series normally aspirated Starlet 1.3 Gi and Starlet GT Turbo. The Glanza S was powered by the naturally aspirated 1331 cc 4E-FE and the Glanza V was powered by the turbocharged 1331 cc 4E-FTE. The 4E-FE used in the Glanza S generated 85 PS (63 kW; 84 hp) which, for the extremely light Starlet, was enough to propel the car from 0–100 km/h in 9.6 seconds. The turbo 4E-FTE used in the Glanza V generated 133 PS (98 kW; 131 hp) at 6400 rpm with a 0–100 km/h time of 8.3 seconds (factory brochure stats).
In December 1996, the Glanza S Limited was released. It has standard body kits same as Glanza V Turbo except the scooped-hood and the engine did not have a Turbo. A lightweight version of the Glanza V was also available without air conditioner and electric windows to keep the car as light as possible, the idea being that it would make an ideal track day car.
The Glanza S and Glanza V were not sold in Europe and were only available on the Japanese market, although some used private imports made their way to the UK and New Zealand. Recently the Glanza has become a popular import in Ireland for its efficient engine and impressive power outputs.
[edit]Other variants
Normally, Starlets were known for being dependable but dull automobiles, but there were exceptions. The Sera, made in the early 1990s and officially sold only in Japan, is a similar car with a sports body and butterfly doors that shared the Starlet's chassis and mechanicals. Only about 16,000 were ever produced.
Several turbocharged sport versions of the Starlet were also sold in Japan, including the EP71 Turbo S (1986–1989), EP82 GT Turbo (1990–1995) and the EP91 Glanza V (1996–1999). These have become quite popular in recent years in other regions such as Malta, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Dominican Republic and South America as used imports.
The Starlet was briefly exported to North America from 1981 to 1984, when it was replaced by the Corolla FX in Toyota's North American lineup.
They were some Special Edition of 80-series sold in Europe such as 1.3 Jeans in UK and Germany, 1.3 Dance in Switzerland, and 1.3 Westwood in Belgium, all of these are based on 1.3 XLi.
The last 80-series in Indonesia was marketed as Fantastic Starlet, this is the 1.3 SE-G with bumpers, grille, headlights, and turbo-look bonnet from Japanese 1.3 Gi which looks extremely powerful compared to its rivals.
The range was replaced by the Echo / Yaris range in 1999, but Toyota had been absent in the city car market of Europe until the Aygo was launched in 2005. Another Japanese replacement was the bB mini MPV, which is sold as the Scion xB in the United States.
